Microorganisms in the gut emerge as a potential determining factor for understanding the links between stress response and brain function. New findings highlight the role of gut microbiota as a central regulator of the stress-circadian axis.
Circadian rhythms are also apparent within our gastrointestinal tract. Two new mice studies show that circadian rhythm and clock genes may also affect intestinal immune cells by boosting the secretion of cytokines that help maintain proper balance of the intestinal barrier.
New data on how light and brain-derived stimulus influence intestinal physiology in mice

We know that our gut microbiota has its own circadian clocks and may respond to environmental light changes. New research in mice reveals that specific neuroimmune pathways controlled by circadian cycles influence intestinal physiology.
The Gut Microbiota Clock: the close connection between gut microbiota, dietary patterns, and the circadian rhythm

A healthy diet that is high in fiber and a regular eating schedule during the day are easily accessible methods for improved gut microbiota rhythmicity.
